Is It ADHD?
Attention and executive functioning difficulties can have lots of sources. Many symptoms that look like ADHD are actually caused by other conditions such as sleep disorders, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. At CAPS, we are committed to working with you to accurately identify and address the cause of your symptoms.
What if I don't have ADHD?
Not all ADHD Clinic services require a diagnosis.
If attention difficulties are preventing you from reaching your full potential, you can always talk to a counselor, check out the AMP Skills Videos and join the group, or seek a thorough evaluation to help you identify the source of your difficulties and figure out the best treatment options for you.
Is there a cure for ADHD?
ADHD treatment cannot “cure” or completely eliminate symptoms, but our integrative approach can empower you to reach your goals despite executive function difficulties.
How do I get tested for ADHD?
Neuropsychological evaluations are a useful way to get a comprehensive picture of your strengths and challenges. The include a variety of tests that look at many aspects of your functioning from your thought process and ability to focus your attention to behaviors. These kinds of tests can help rule in or rule out ADHD and lead to valuable insights in the supports that would work best for you. Talk with a CAPS counselor to learn more about ADHD evaluation services at CAPS or in the community.
